Since I can't do this myself (couldn't pass the medical!) I will make a donation and travel with you in spirit, and watch the videos. Take care and have lots of fun.

You need an assistant to join you. I have a volunteer...

A lot of people create a complex plan of what they want to film themselves doing on the flight. But once they're up there the plan get ignored. Happened to Physics Girl and Simone Yetch. I think it happens for a few reasons,. but mainly being too excited to do work. Hopefully the film crew you hired are provide by G-Force One and are good at zero G filming. Make sure you are mic'ed up good, as there can be a lot of noise from other people on the flight happening around you. Yelling Screaming etc..

I chipped in right away because this is awesome, but then I watched your video and your enthusiasm is absolutely infectious and I suspect it'll be the deciding factor in many people deciding to contribute!

I saw your comment on YouTube about the MiG flight for $10K and it reminded me that I passed up a somewhat similar opportunity. In 2000 I lived in Pompano Beach, Florida, home to Pompano Beach Airpark. Not only is that home to one of the Goodyear blimps, but at the time there was also a company operating there that gave short (1 hour?) flights in a MiG for $700. You even got to log it as jet instruction time if you were a pilot, which I was at the time. I'm still kicking myself 21 years later for passing up that opportunity.

Fran will slip the surly bonds of Earth....

One giant leap for Fuzz-kind.

That's one small step for a Fran,

How long does it take to become accustomed to 1/3 ( mars ) or 1/6 ( moon ) gravity and be able to "walk" what ever "normal" becomes ? 1 parabola each of 20-30 seconds sounds kind of short.

I'm very excited to be helpful in the small way I am able. And so glad to see others willing to pitch in

So did that insane 1.5M views on the UFO video help pay for this? :-) Anyway, what a cool adventure to be going on!

Fran Blanche

I won't throw up - but I will be sick with excitement...

Fran Blanche

No - I am fully vaccinated, and one of the stipulations in the contract is that all participants have to pass a covid test to board.

Will you have to wear a mask? Serious question, because that would totally ruin the video and audience experience IMO.

OMG so jealous!

I didn't even know there was a civilian equivalent to the "Vomit Commit" KC-135 the USAF/NASA uses for weightless training. Chase and catch your dream! We'll follow along!
